I bought angel hair spaghetti because it was on sale.
Now when i make spaghetti, I only use a microwave oven. I put the spaghetti, a pinch of salt and water in a disposable plastic container. I don't even bother to measure the water, its going to drained away in any case.
Nuke for 6 minutes. With regular spaghetti I can let it sit in the water for another three minutes while the sauce is nuking, and then I drain...always comes out perfect.
So six minutes go by. take out the angel hair. its already soft, but I let it soak for another three minutes while the sauce gets ready. I come back and there is NO water in the spaghetti! the angel hair ad absorbed it all!
further it had formed a semi-solid mush/porridge consistency. It was one solid piece of slimy mush.
so what to do? I tried draining it and only a few drops came out.
So. I poured on the sauce. and ate it.
It was OK. It tasted like spaghetti. It just slid down a lot easier.
Just another day in the exciting bachelor life.
I have no allusions about married life. I don't expect my wife to know how to cook. But I expect she will learn rather quickly after a few of my meals.
